| thafreak | holy cow, forgot how loud old scsi drives are :) | 20:36 |
|---|---|---|
| paultag | yeah? :) | 20:37 |
| thafreak | just fired up dban to wipe an old 9gb FULL HEIGHT scsi drive before I throw it in the dumpster | 20:37 |
| paultag | thafreak: btw, how much was your case if you don't mind me asking, and how big is it? | 20:37 |
| paultag | Hahahaha | 20:37 |
| paultag | that's pretty great | 20:37 |
| paultag | I have to do some drive backups soon (this week) | 20:37 |
| thafreak | $40 and it is like 10"x7"x5" (outside) ish | 20:37 |
| thafreak | but I got the one with foam padding...cubbed foam | 20:38 |
| paultag | thafreak: what have you been putting in it? | 20:38 |
| paultag | oh yeah, I'll be wanting that | 20:38 |
| thafreak | nothing yet...i started cutting the cubes out for fitting 3.5" sata drives in it | 20:38 |
| thafreak | but I was waiting for some antistatic plastic boxes to put the drives in first | 20:38 |
| thafreak | they came today...but the drives won't fit with them :( | 20:39 |
| paultag | I'm worried about running drives inside a case like that | 20:39 |
| thafreak | If I put the drives on their side, in just antistatic bags, I can fit about 6 drives in this little case | 20:39 |
| paultag | they might overheat | 20:39 |
| paultag | thafreak: that's not bad | 20:39 |
| thafreak | Oh, yeah, I wouldn't run drives inside it | 20:39 |
| thafreak | if I use the plastic cases, the don't fit on their side, so best I could fit would be 2 :( | 20:40 |
| thafreak | guess antistatic bags it is :) | 20:40 |
| thafreak | or buy a bigger case for storage, and keep this smaller one for transport | 20:40 |
| thafreak | I actually saw a case specifically made for HD storage on newegg... | 20:40 |
| thafreak | it looked like a big alluminum briefcase, and had slots for 10 HD's in it | 20:41 |
| thafreak | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817993061 | 20:42 |
| paultag | well, I want to run a shitload of hardware inside something hardcore. | 20:42 |
| paultag | that's a badass case, thafreak | 20:45 |
| thafreak | well, the pelicans are air tight...which is a problem for normal hardware :) | 20:46 |
| thafreak | you'd need industrial stuff | 20:46 |
| paultag | mmmm | 20:47 |
| thafreak | the pelicans actually have a one way valve that pushes all air out when you close it shut | 20:47 |
| paultag | I could run it "open" when I need to | 20:48 |
| thafreak | they make motherboards/cpu combos that are meant to run in airtight (and therefore dust free) containers | 20:48 |
| thafreak | could do that...and just close it for transport | 20:48 |
| thafreak | set it down, open it up, and plug it in | 20:48 |
| paultag | yap | 20:48 |
| thafreak | Also, newegg has arm v6 mb's now too... | 20:49 |
| paultag | oh? | 20:49 |
| thafreak | $60 | 20:49 |
| thafreak | 800mhz and runs android by default... | 20:49 |
| paultag | Ooohhhhhhhhh | 20:49 |
| paultag | oh v6, hurm | 20:49 |
| thafreak | they're also a bit bigger than the pi | 20:49 |
| paultag | do you know if it has the hardfloat ABI? | 20:49 |
| thafreak | yeah | 20:49 |
| paultag | also, RAM? | 20:49 |
| paultag | slash cores | 20:49 |
| paultag | pi is a v6 with hfabi | 20:50 |
| paultag | but it's short on RAM, and speed | 20:50 |
| paultag | I need some build nodes, and 60 bucks isn't bad | 20:50 |
| thafreak | 512mb | 20:51 |
| thafreak | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813177001 | 20:51 |
| thafreak | well...for $60, you could get atoms...or amd fusions | 20:52 |
| thafreak | or via's | 20:52 |
| thafreak | course,those are usually sans-ram | 20:52 |
| thafreak | but ram is cheap | 20:52 |
| paultag | thafreak: hummm | 20:52 |
| paultag | well, I don't want x86 | 20:52 |
| thafreak | and those are usually dual core | 20:52 |
| paultag | I have EC2 and old machines | 20:52 |
| thafreak | oh you want to be exotic eh :) | 20:52 |
| paultag | I want some beefy ARM hardware for build nodes | 20:53 |
| paultag | I can test-build 32 bit easy | 20:53 |
| paultag | yeah ok | 20:53 |
| paultag | that's ARM11, which is v6 + hf, iirc | 20:53 |
| paultag | so that could run raspbian | 20:53 |
| paultag | too slow though | 20:54 |
| thafreak | yeah, the raspberry pi is a bit pokey | 20:54 |
| thafreak | well, when you do i/o, like using aptitude | 20:54 |
| thafreak | haven't compiled anything on it yet | 20:54 |
| thafreak | maybe you just go with beagle bone | 20:54 |
| thafreak | too bad the other boards like the beagle board, panda board, etc are like $150 | 20:55 |
| dzho | though TI seems to be backing away from that | 20:55 |
| thafreak | paultag: according to this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Server you can also use ARM AMI's on ec2... | 21:01 |
| paultag | thafreak: it takes a serious dent | 21:02 |
| paultag | and it's on a large | 21:02 |
| thafreak | http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FMele-A1000-Android-Internet-Optical%2Fdp%2FB008PBTS18&ei=mlilUN-zLbOI0QH7v4CQDA&usg=AFQjCNHp9paTqPFov8ongSaWork1W4Oy2g&cad=rja | 21:04 |
| thafreak | crap | 21:04 |
| thafreak | http://www.amazon.com/Mele-A1000-Android-Internet-Optical/dp/B008PBTS18 | 21:04 |
| thafreak | it's a ghz class arm with an esata port too | 21:04 |
| paultag | I need something bulky | 21:05 |
| paultag | looks like debian's got some Freescale MX53 LOCO Board | 21:07 |
| paultag | (s) | 21:07 |
| paultag | there was some sort of Calxeda something a while ago | 21:09 |
| thafreak | damn....this! http://liliputing.com/2012/08/49-cubieboard-is-an-allwinner-a10-developer-board-mini-pc.html | 21:14 |
| paultag | A8, a bit old, but servicable | 21:14 |
| paultag | price is right | 21:14 |
| paultag | SATA port, dang. | 21:15 |
| paultag | RAM is low | 21:16 |
| paultag | but not bad | 21:16 |
| thafreak | there's a bunch of 1.6ghz ish dual core boards around $55 | 21:17 |
| thafreak | most of them are in like usb-stick form factor for plugging directly into a tv (hdmi male end) | 21:18 |
| thafreak | no ethernet, but some have wifi | 21:18 |
| paultag | SATA is a pretty big thing | 21:18 |
| paultag | fast drives will be a huge plus | 21:19 |
| paultag | and it'd be nice to make some of these archive thingers | 21:19 |
| paultag | couple of ssd drives, notbad.jpg | 21:19 |
| paultag | thafreak: yeah, that'd be nice. Hurmmmm. | 21:23 |
| paultag | I wonder. | 21:27 |
